"Existing cybersecurity training and personnel development programs, while good, are limited in focus and lack unity in effort. In order to effectively ensure our continued technical advantage and future cybersecurity, we must develop a technologically –skilled and cyber–savvy workforce and an effective pipeline of future employees."

Initiative #8 to Expand Cyber Education from the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative

Both the public and the private sectors suffer from a lack of highly trained and effective cyber security leaders. In response, the government, businesses, and academic institutions are all exploring ways to retrain the existing workforce and develop a new pool of cybersecurity professionals capable of meeting the needs of tomorrow.

The Cyber Education Symposium offers a rare opportunity for the brightest minds in government (.gov), the private sector (.com), and the educational community (.edu) to convene and discuss trends and challenges in cybersecurity education. The Symposium will provide a forum to identify new ways of thinking about the problem, exchange best practices, and forge a pathway forward that leverages the full resources of our nation’s leadership.
